Kurt Micallef has joined The Phoenicia Malta's culinary team, taking on the role of senior sous chef.

Chef Kurt trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London and across Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, including Belgium's In De Wulf, where he built a classically French repertoire and developed a passion for locally sourced, exceptional food.

Years of hands-on experience followed, with senior posts in some of Malta's most respected kitchens - Noni, Risette, Ion the Harbour and, most recently, Fernando's.

"We are delighted to welcome chef Kurt Micallef as senior sous chef at The Phoenicia Malta," says Robyn Pratt, general manager at The Phoenicia Malta. "For chef Kurt, food is more than a profession - it's a way of life. With his extensive knowledge, creativity and expertise, we look forward to the exciting experiences he will bring to our guests."
